Easter Vigil Celebration
Saturday, March 31, 2024
6:30 PM (Live Streamed)
WELCOME TO EASTER
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, welcome to a wet Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. Rain is always a sign of God’s love and salvation. We see that in the story of the crossing of the Red Sea, the crossing of river Jordan, as well as the story of Noah.
Welcome to 2024 Easter. You will hear the story of the empty tomb on Easter Sunday (tomorrow). Let this story of empty tomb be a testament to God’s promise. We worship God that makes the impossible possible. Even in the face of impossible odds, He makes a way. Easter is a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is the light of Christ waiting to shine bright. Let’s welcome this bright light and let it guide our path forward.
We welcome to our community Dr. Mark Drew Boatman, Mrs. Rebecca Lyn Arinze, Mrs. Ayde Quinonez, Mrs. Claudia Gomes De Araujo Santos, Mr. Marvin Christian Chua Ko, and Ryan Estrada. They will be fully initiated into our Catholic community at our 6:30 p.m. Easter vigil Mass. We are excited to have them. Following the ceremony, we invite you to join us for a reception at Msgr. Crane Hall, where we will continue celebrating their journey and Breaking-Fast with them. Your presence will undoubtedly make their special day even more memorable. We thank Mrs. Shannon Decker for accompanying these men and women in their journey to the Lord. She was great.
Our Egg Hunt activity, at the end of 11:00 a.m. Mass, tomorrow, will take place, but with modification. Due to the rain, it will take place differently. Egg Hunt belongs to Easter Sunday. The same goes for our 6 a.m. Sun Rise Mass. It will take place. However, due to the rain, the location might be different. Come!
Easter is a symbol of new life. An Easter Sunday Orthodox liturgy states, “Now that we have seen the resurrection of Christ, let us adore the all-holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. Do not let the insight you gained during lent pass you by. Let us continue to work on the resolutions we made during Lent. May the light of our resurrected Savior continue to illuminate our path towards God our Father.
Below is our Easter Schedule.
Fr. Mike
